Lonely Planet review for Lyndon Baines Johnson (LBJ) Library & Museum

History buffs aren’t the only ones who can find something of interest at the LBJ Library & Museum. There are some fascinating mementos from the 36th US president, including his presidential limo, a moon rock, and gifts from heads of state (‘Why, thank you Chiang Kai-shek, for this lovely Chinese tomb sculpture!’).

    Creepy, hilarious Lyndon Johnson automaton worth the visit

    colonelplink recommends this,

    To see LBJ reduced to a muppet-like state in his own presidential library is oddly fitting and very amusing. The blustering, brow-beating president was famous for a coercive style of persuasion, but is now a corny, jerky machine welcoming visitors in the lobby. It reminds the viewer of Chuckie Cheese or some other low-rent carney diversion, a poetically just imitation of a violently narcissistic man who was thoroughly false in life.
